Public versus Private


Only you can believe God for yourself.  You first have to believe God for something and that one something will change your life forever.  Out of that one trusting moment you will experience a life change that will produce infinitely throughout a believer’s life.  When Abraham had gone up on Mt. Moriah to sacrifice Isaac, his true reason was only between him and God.  No one would have been the wiser had he changed his mind and chosen not to offer up as a sacrifice his son – “The one whom he loved.”  Only God would have known that Abraham had backed out of his commitment.  He had the option to not go all the way and quite possibly kept his child all the days left remaining of his life but it was not about the child but rather it was about his relationship with God; and that is what Abraham understood and the reason why he went through with it.  His life would have been immensely and drastically different - No hope, No blessing.  Those who trust God experience a covenant through personal, out-of-sight victories and unbeknownst favor that only God knows about, but blesses us publicly, as to say “This is my child and this is what a covenant agreement produces in a relationship with him will bring; beneficial and innumerable blessings.
